Let’s have a dig around your skeletons:
“It would cost Airbus at least £1bn to relocate it's wings department to the EU.”
At least £1Billion, you say.
Where did you get that number from?
Your welcome to my skeletons if your sad enough ;-)
I'm also sad enough to research long and deep enough & know people within the aviation industry, including defence aspect.
The car industry also depends on manufacturers to be fair, let's not forget Trump & his trade tariffs will hurt the EU, whilst the UK is currently an EU member its soon to be leaving and the U.K. thus being independent.
Lastly, in a recent Sky news interview with Kay Burley the American ambassador has made it very clear Trump is very keen to do a bilateral trade deal with the U.K. Soonest.
To summarise, excuse for not answering the £1bn figure however I'm happy to be disapproved on the basis but not the figure itself.

I respect your viewpoint however staunchly disagree, very much like the majority 17m which also decided the status quo and the direction of the EU was wrong.No. Rational analysis of the pros and cons and weighing the possible risks and benefits. Absolutely no contest. The answer is so clearly to remain that Brexit is clearly moronic.I'm sure you already knew what my reply was anyway ;-)

I recall those days of allowances too, primarily whist stationed in Canada, it was that good I returned.When I was in the RAF, I did a couple of months at Alborg in 1975. To put things in perspective we were paid more in overseas allowance than we were being paid, the good old days.
One weekend we went over on the boat to Gothenburg and got chatting to some Swedes. They couldn't understand we were going to Sweden, they preferred to go to Denmark for the day as it was so much cheaper.
Some just refuse to believe that the main European countries have always had a higher standard of living and the UK was the poor man of Europe.
The LOA is still good for many.
Excuse the thread drift.

Brexit moronic simply because you disagree with it?
Look, it must be clear to you all that I think Brexit is a moronic idea. How would you prefer me to present my opinion?
There is indeed a corrolation between tertiary educational achievement and voting remain
I believe the EU, CU and SM are flawed but good for us on balance.
I think we do live in an increasingly unstable and dangerous world and I believe staying close to the EU is wise.
I also believe that the people most likely to be negatively affected by Brexit are demographic C-, D and E who tended to vote for it. Ironic indeed
I have just spent a delightful few days in Scandinavia. Happy people paying high taxes and living in socially just societies. Much more the European dream than the American dream. Try it.

Oh dear the 'bitterness' is a strong force today.
The apocalypse hasn't occurred, life goes on.
I'm a staunch realist but the consistent doom & gloom from the anti-Brexit campaigners is tiresome, almost misguided......

Simple flaw easily noticeable....
Forecast......George Osborne attempted that with project fear.
Utter nonsense from the Anti-Brexit element.
Oh well never mind [emoji57]Not just Airbus...... every auto company, manufacturer, finance company, farmers .... all have reported concerns about Brexit. They either see contraction or are moving out...Not one is forecasting an improvement.
However it would be interesting if one single British company has said they think Brexit would actually improve business.

The deeper you research, the more skeletons you'll find & it's simply hot air from Airbus.Typical EU Bruxelles-mafia attitude threats, from Airbus...
It would cost Airbus at least £1bn to relocate it's wings department to the EU.
Also, the EU illegal payments to Airbus.
That's just two from Airbus.
As for another well known Germany manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, industry rumour is one plant will close, VAG is 50/50.
PSA, French car producer who owns Vauxhall, they'll just adjust accordingly via its Ellesmere Port.....
These companies don't invest without contingency planning for litigation purposes.
Hard Brexit will hurt the EU far far harder than the UK.....so go for it Brussels if your hard enough to try.

Brexit gloating is frowned upon [emoji849] however I like your style [emoji41]
Fortunately, democracy didn't cease on June 23rd 2016, it's still a democratic right to counter protest as did the Pro-Brexit attendance, rather interesting though that the MSM focuses primarily on the anti-Brexit element.

No he did not! He merely gave the people the choice of "in or out" And, guess what?
Exactly, something Labour (under Blair) also intended however yet another coward renegades on this choice for the 'electorate'.

A European Economic Community was always a great idea for a trading Bloc. A European Super Nation is a geopolitical nightmare to be avoided. But Brussels lusts for the power it thinks this brings
I concur and well said, the original EEC principle, foundation and format was positive way forward, not autocratic authoritarian's.
Brussel's in its former shadowy self, today is an imploded elitist unfit for purpose shambolic EU.

oh, the benefits of cherry picking is included?
I highly doubt that in 1945, in which this article referring to that cherry picking wasn't even thought, survival was.
Maybe 'some' should remember that.

I concur, Cameron's legacy is not what he planned or wanted.Labour didn't start this road to ruin. It is Cameron's debacle.
Thankfully the right decision was democratically decided upon and now it's time to love on.
IMO If there's 2 distinctive names that will be the Brexit legacy, it'll be Cameron & Grieves.

Oh yes Airbus, anyone highlighting how much it would cost them to assemble the wings in the EU?
Companies like Airbus are in the UK for a reason, not forgetting the illegal EU payments made to Airbus? Tut tut.
As for the March, protest whatever.....good for them, it's yet another democratic right.

Over 30 years ago we went to live in a nice town.it had two small immigrant communities one from Jamaica and one from Pkistan etc.they never really got on and over the years the " people of colour" must be pc[emoji4] moved away from where the Muslims lived and integrated.I was back there a couple of years ago .much of it was like Pakistan women in black robes mosques all over the place. Also there seemed to be in all the town centre hardly anyone who spoke English half the shops had foreign languages in the windows it was not like the Town i moved to all those years ago. Britain as we knew it is dead thanks to mass immigration. As i fear are many countrys in Europe.thanks to the likes of Blair and Merkal.still they have become rich of the EU. So why should they care

I don't believe the UK is dead due to mass immigration, there are currently worse countries however ensuring the country is better controlled and managed is priority.
Subsequent governments have continually ignored & failed this issue at their own peril, thus now it's at the forefront those very people within the political establishment can now focus on fixing what others were too scared or spineless to discuss, for the fear of being branded racists.

Own goal for Merkel, how long can this woman survive with her autocratic political style?
Well done Conte, it’s going to be a rather interesting and uncomfortable summit for some at the end of the month.

unfortunately, There's a slight flaw there.I think we all agree that the EU is badly flawed and out of date. It needs a complete overhaul and in fact Macron and Merkel feel that way too. I am not going to bang on about "better fighting from the inside" because that argument has been done to death. We just have to wait and see what happens next. I shall be doing it from behind the sofa peeping over the back now and then!

If there was genuine unified EU effort to reform I'd be more understanding towards it.

Good post & assessment, agreed reference the rhetoric element.I think it is just rhetoric citybiker. Both sides slinging the odd insult. Much of it comes from a weariness from the constant back and forth and still not knowing where the hell we are heading. In fact I feel that that is why the vitriol is so strong.
As I have said many times before most British people in Britain want what they perceive to be the best for the country. It is just that it is not always the same thing. Nobody wins with Brexit but in the end there will be an end result. Which side it falls on, we don't know yet. I think that one way or another we are all going to be failed, it is just to what extent.
I guess one thing hasn't changed much is that we don't know what the effect of Brexit will actually be. We all shouting in the dark! So we can all keep slagging off the various politicians involved but they are still the only ones who are going to make the final decision.
The biggest concern from all sides is change, uncertainty and what happens for the next generation, too much emotive mud slinging even after 2 years which shows in parts how bitter some elements of society are.
I've always liked Europe and continue to do so, I visit and transit through regularly and that will not cease, however the political EU element spawned & imploded from the original EEC plan is simply not fit for purpose, it refuses to reform and yes Brexit , it'll be rocky in parts, changes pending however i highly doubt the UK will suffer an apocalypse.

Total utter tosh, you claiming 17 million majority are lower class educated using it as fact?
Yet further anti-Brexit nonsense.That's true. It's a fact that the majority of lower class people voted for Leave.
But you will be have to learn a painful lesson.

That is not quite right!
1. UK signed all EU treaties and rules.
2. The so called beaurocrats are also UK officials. So if you beat them you beat yourself.
3. There is an exit procedure. And UK, as initiator of Brexit has to follow.
4. It's a fact to have borders between the EU members and others.
5. It's definitely the end of cherry picking.
I think a lot of people in UK (not here in Thailand necessarily unless the money will shrink on the account) will wake up soon when May will disclose her final agreement with EU.
All of which the above will soon cease, be renegotiated, personnel relocated and legally out of the EU March 2019, into transition period.
Total worst case scenario, move to WTO rules which neither party wishes however is a possibility.
Brussels has form on poor negotiations, Canada & Japan are both proof and evidence and they’ll leave it to the last minister despite the article 50 timeframe, which that itself is also flawed, by its own author no less.
Uncharted ground, new challenges and not everyone will get what they want, the vital point is no longer legally bound to the EU.

Other EU sources report that there isn't any solution for the Irish Border yet. May's plans were rejected by Mr. Barnier.
The meltdown started already unless UK will stay but not leave.
It might be that this is the final solution for May. Well done.
IMO anything being released from the EU in relation to the NI border is to be taken cautiously, sceptically and not considered viable.
Take Brussel's out of the debate and equation & Dublin, Belfast and Westminster would be able to work a viable solution, it's the EU that are causing the dramas with demands, they want the border Eire,Belfast and Westminster don't.
Similarly to the Spanish/Gibraltar situation, Brussels want everything in its own favour, which explains rejection every UK proposal submitted to date, they're autocratic in every sense.
Brussel's thrives on Dominance and Authority mindset and despises being challenged at any level.

Oh dear me, the British FS and another over hyped media tosh release and Brexit hate remainers are at it again.
Boris is controversial, speaks out and occasionally pi$$es people off, even within his own Government. Good for him, Brexit is a serious matter, passionate to ensure PMTM is held accountable to her commitment and word and deliver Brexit to the electorate.
I'm no fan of him, however Trump, Farage et al have done more and better than countless nameless idiots I could mention that stuck to the status quo.

That's the UK's overall aim & goal.Better that we all work together to get Galileo up and working.
US (Stumper) can hardly be trusted these days.
Unfortunately, the EU are using the Brexit talks as a political tool to punish and deter other MS rather than come to a collective agreement, Galileo, NI border etc etc.
UK under EU rules classes as 3rd country.
Only recently the EU claims it doesn't have to comply with its own GDPR criteria, article evidence available on MSN.
Brussels hypocrisy at its finest, issue a policy but don't abide or follow it yourself.
The EU fears challenges at any level, it's answer is to warn, threat & make it very difficult to go independent, thankfully UK isn't part of the Euro too.
Excuse the long winded version of a short reply.
